I thought I joined the 8 'n' Pole competition in it's first year but could be wrong.

Indeed, you did join in the first year of competition going public. It was of course called 6 'n' Pole then!

Perhaps all the regulars here could tell us when they joined. And do they still keep their results

Extremely easy in my case

I joined right after the 2006 Hungarian GP. First predictions of mine gone out last week. Thus I do not have any results as of now

Now it might come to you a bit daring to call myself a regular but I have a feeling that I will remain here as long as newsonf1 continues to exist...

That's right it was and I had forgotten that.

I did have my results but one computer died and I lost the first lot, then my hard drive on this computer died and I had to have it replaced, so I lost all my info.
